Bones- I like the reflection; that's looking really nice so far (you are eventually finishing it, yes?).

That was a reflection? Good lord, it is so opaque that it really looked like two dudes making out or something. Maybe a tip would be to stop the reflection a lot earlier on, like in the middle of the face.

The counter is only like 5% shaded so far.My tiny reference has a reflection which doesn't "stop"

I should have shown the underside of the face, since I had done that with the hand but, it's too late to go back now, I'm not touching that general part of the piece anymore.Since I have much to do by 10am and it's an 18 x 24 inch illustration, so it's not a small piece to finish by morning.

I posted these awhile back right after I finished them, but I just yesterday took much better pictures. It was only after I finished that I realized it would have been super cool to have the hands spell something in ASL or whatever. Oh well! Click through to flickr &c. &c.

Jr those are some bad ass hands I really like how the flow of the background is based on the form of the hand rather than the light source, really makes the gesture feel like it's grabbing the air around it.My only nit pick would be the ring finger of the last one. I get that it's got a cast shadow, but the shadow of finger kind of looks like silly-puddy? maybe it's just me.

Yeah, I had a lot of trouble with that particular bit. I feel like I overworked it, but I never really managed to get the form correct. I'm not really sure how to fix it!
